Nuts

So my plan was to eat raw almonds, meat and cheese, etc... But in reality I'm making almond joy with the nuts. Hmmm, what's wrong with this picture? :-P

I did eat a sandwich today and so far so good. It's really crazy how the chocolate stays down just fine but the wholesome, healthy food wants to get out of my belly. Dang stress.

Today is a special day; my youngest turns 3 today! He is so sweet and funny. He says things that are just hilarious. Like, when he's really mad about something he'll yell, "MOM! THIS IS A SITUATION!!" And we don't watch Jersey Shore, I swear. We only have basic cable.

He'll also do something and then proudly say, "I did great!" He still hates the daycare at the gym, and I don't know if I have the emotional wherewithal to deal with that before we move. So we'll see how often I get to spinning class. =(

He totally doesn't associate birthdays with gifts yet, so every time someone gives him a present his face lights up and he is just so cute I could eat him up!

Here he is this morning, helping me make the cupcakes for his birthday, and with the special red plate that the birthday person gets to use all day:And here are a couple pictures of him from our family session. Awww, I do so love this boy!

About Me

I am a stay at home mom to 4 amazing kiddos. Married to a man who loved me before I knew he existed, and still loves me in spite of it all. Determined to get back to a healthy weight after having a baby and stress eating caused me to balloon to the highest weight I've ever been. This is my journey.

Weight Loss

The Story of the Skinny Turtle

Ok, we all know the story of the tortoise and the hare, right?

Well, the tortoise won the race because he kept up a slow, steady pace. Even when it looked like there was no way in the world the turtle could ever catch up to the speedy jack rabbit, he didn't stop. He didn't give up. He kept on plugging along.

That is my goal with this weight loss journey. Never to give up. Even when the weight loss is slow, even when it feels like it isn't working, even when it feels impossible. Never give up!
